Strategy - Infantry Squads hold objectives at home, Taurox either stand and shoot or move ahead (Try using them to block sniper LOS to Characters).
Conscripts move for objectives or stay as a meatshield.
Scions, hold since shooting shouldn't be needed until turn 3. Preferably move to contest one objective or steal from the enemy.

Ratlings shoot enemy characters commissars etc.

Manticores shoot large W/T targets first then, terminators and such, then regular troops if the above are all dead. Around turn 4/5 move to objectives
Heavy weapon teams shoot whatever is available.

Ideally I table people, especially for kill points. Although ITC format is based on unit power lever which is nice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9486322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9486322.page GMT [2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List 2. Are your Scions in squads of 5 or 10? I assume 5? I think you should combine two of them into a squad of 10, and turn the other one into a command squad. Then you should consider picking up a Tempestor.
3. You've got 3 company commanders. Statistically, HWS are not worth giving an order to, unless you've just got a spare commander to meet the HQ tax. I'd say switch one to a Tempestor.
4. You've got no astropaths. Get astropaths. They're only 15 points and they're full of awesome.
5. I'm not a fan of the autocannons. They're too expensive to be spare wounds for your lascannons.
6. You have 30 HWTs. 30. Wow. That's going to take up a lot of space.

I'd be interested to see how it plays out though, can you do some battle reports once its in action?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9487218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9487218.page GMT [2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List
I like the 5 man squads for the versatility drop wise. Although I would have liked 10 man squads better, atm I don't have the models for them.

I likely will do more LC/Mortars and take away all of the AC just don't have enough put together at the moment. Plan to eventually do 2-1 LC-Mortar squads. Considered Yarrick a lot or Harker for the reroll ones bubble.

I wanted a commander for each conscript squad just as well as required for the spearhead Detatchments.

Was on the edge of astropath instead of ratlings
.
With first turn against an army that wants to reserve their army or very low model count i expect to table then by sheer firepower. . Played some smaller point games with no manticores and was tabeling everyone within 3 turns for 5 games now. However going second means the enemy has the first shooting phase which could end badly given the right build but they have a lot of hurt to shoot at the conscript horde, manticores/taurox.

I'm putting a heavy weapon squad together right now. I made the mortars and lascannons per standard, gave the missile launcher to a standing infantry, and I used some leftover parts from the Taurox track system (I use wheels because I hate the tracks) for the Heavy Bolter stands. I haven't decided what to do about the auto cannons (or if I'll bother since they're so overpriced this edition). Did you use the normal tripod for your AC or did you convert something up?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9489014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9489014.page GMT [2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List ACs I've always been a fan of them and hopefully they go down to 10points in the codex and ML to 15-16ish then might be harder than just choosing LCs]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9489363.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9489363.page GMT Re:[2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List AP, BUT.... don't ever let anyone convince you that a 48 inch reach that now deals 2 damage and most critically has TWO SHOTS is not worth taking. A decent heavy weapon that will average one hit Every turn can be huge next to a lascannon that half of the time will miss and therefore help you zero percent is a nice toy to bring to any party. That said, i have left the days of infantry heavy lists and have become a huge tread head. Though im always happy to see it when someone retains the enormous pile of meat strategy.

Please do on the pics/mild bat rep. Im am very curious indeed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9489877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9489877.page GMT [2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List
Thankfully painting isnt required atm, since I am a tediously slow painter but playing IG and layering infantry can take it's time ha.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9490000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9490000.page GMT [2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9491120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732414/9491120.page GMT [2000] - AM/IG - Competitive ITC List
